Fee £2 12s. 6d.

FOURTH COURSE (By Dr. MILNER)

Chemical Physics.

This Course will deal chiefly with the Theory of Solutions in its Physical and Electro-Chemical aspects, and will comprise the following:

Osmotic Pressure, and its thermodynamical connection. with the effect of dissolved substances on the properties of the solvent. Electrolytic Dissociation; Ionic Velocities; Additive Properties of Solutions ; Diffusion of Electrolytes; Potential Differences between Solutions, and between Metals and Electrolytes. Electro-Capillary Phenomena. The Law of Mass Action; Chemical Affinity; Hydrolysis; Catalysis. The Effect of Temperature on Chemical Equilibrium. Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Equilibria. The Phase Rule.

Lecture Hour-One Hour per Week (Lent and Easter Terms) to be settled after Christmas.

Fee-£1 1s. Od.

FIFTH COURSE-(By the PROFESSOR)

Alternating Currents

This Course will treat fully of the behaviour of vary ing currents in inductive circuits with and without iron, and will be supplementary to the Electricity in the Third Course.

Lecture Hour-One hour per week (Lent Term), to be settled after Christmas.

Fee-12s. 6d.

SIXTH COURSE-(By the PROFESSOR)

Special Physics.

This Course will be taken by students reading for Honours in the Final B.Sc., in conjunction with the Fourth and Fifth Courses. It will run concurrently with the Fourth Course, but will go into fuller detail. Lecture Hour-One Hour per Week, to be settled when the class is formed.

Fee-£1 11s. 6d.

MEDICAL COURSE.

A combined Course, consisting of lectures, demonstrations and practical work, will be given, covering the instruction in Physics required by the Conjoint Board, and will last from October to June.

Hours Monday and Wednesday, 2-4.

Fee-£4.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

NOTE. For Courses in Electrical Engineering see Prospectus for Technical Department.

Practical Physics.

In these classes students will themselves perform a course of experimental work, under the supervision of the Professor or Demonstrators.

The material and apparatus used are supplied by the College. Students will be held responsible for apparatus while in their use and will be liable to make good any damage incurred. For this purpose, each student must deposit the sum of five shillings as caution money on entering the Laboratory. Should this be overdrawn at any time, he may be called upon for a further deposit. The balance will be returned on the student leaving the College.

Each student will be expected to keep a note-book, to enter the details and results of the experiments he makes, and to present it for examination at least once a fortnight. Neglect of this will count as non-attendance. He will be expected to carry out the experiments so as to yield numerical results of an accuracy to be looked for from each method, and he will not be permitted to proceed to another experiment before such accuracy has been attained. The standard of accuracy will be such as can be easily reached with ordinary care.

Practical demonstrations will. as far as possible, be given to first and second year students. In these classes the theory and practice of the experiments will be explained, which each student will afterwards himself perform in the Laboratory.

Intermediate Students will take four hours per week for one year. Their work will comprise the following:

Measurement of Length; Mass; Time; Density; Elastic Properties of Materials.

Thermometry; Calorimetry; Vapour Pressures and Densities.

Measurement of

Photometry; Measurement of Refractive Indices; Focal Lengths of Mirrors and Lenses; Combination of Lenses to Form Optical Instruments; the Spectroscope.

Measurement of Moments of Magnets; Strength of Magnetic Fields; Currents; Resistances; E.M.F.'s; Heating and Electrolytic Effects of Currents.

Simple Experiments on Electromagnets and Induction of Currents.

Measurement of the frequency of Vibration of Stretched Strings, Air Columns, and Tuning Forks; Measurement of Velocity of Sound in Gases.

Final Pass B.Sc. Students are expected to devote six hours per week for two years to practical work. Preliminary Scientific Students will take the Intermediate Practical Course.

Honours Students will devote all the time at their disposal (in no case less than 12 hours per week) to practical work in the laboratory. They will have the opportunity of carrying out a connected series of observations serving as an introduction to original work.

A Special Course in connection with the Curriculum of study prescribed for the Diploma of Public Health is conducted on Tuesday afternoons at 2, during the Michaelmas Term. The Course deals with Density Determinations, Reduction of Barometric Readings, Pressure and Volume Relations of Gases and Saturated Vapours, Hygrometry, Latent and Specific Heats.

For Special Courses in Electrical Engineering, see Prospectus for Technical Department.

Hours The Laboratory will be open each day, 9-1 and 2-4, with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays, when it will be open from 9-1; and on certain evenings. Times will be arranged, as far as convenient, to suit the other engagements of students.
